instead of ranting around here, it would be really nice if you took the time to review some of the patches that actually solve these exceptions
and help with smooth upgrading.

For your convenience I add some links here:
https://review.typo3.org/27240
https://review.typo3.org/25414
https://review.typo3.org/27617
https://review.typo3.org/27024
https://review.typo3.org/26776
https://review.typo3.org/23740

Furthermore you might consider trying an upgrade again, since nearly 400 patches were merged since your last try.

Looking forward to your in-detail code reviews and tests of the patches.

Regards
Markus
